Camping Part Two!

Camp out number 2 was with our church group. It was a beautiful location and really fun to camp next to so many friends. The area was pretty well contained so the kids could just roam. They met lots of new friends and had a great time! I think we will do lots more camping this summer.

Abby got this bug catcher from a friends a few weeks ago and is now obsessed with catching bugs. Mike was catching moths in it each night and they were her little babies. She wanted to take her moth up camping to show her friends but Davis let it out on the way. She cried for a long time about it but we promised to find her lots of bugs at the campsite. It was still pretty cold there and really hard to find bugs actually but we looked and looked. She found a tiny bug the first day and put a ton of flowers in with it. Mike didn't know it was special and emptied it out the next morning. Abby was so sad but thought the bug had just eaten all the flowers so off she went to gather more and we were able to find her a big beetle as well. She named the bugs Flower Eater and Mad bug. She kept them and talked to them everyday for about a week until I finally convinced her they would be happier outside. That was also a tearful goodbye. She said a really good prayer for them as well.  I think my little Abby really needs a pet.

This is about as good as it gets if I try to be in a picture.

Abby's favorite friend at the camp out was a little dog named Jake. She followed it around the whole day and I had to promise her we would do a play date with the dog latter. We had Jake and his family over for dinner a couple days later and Abby was in heaven, I am sure Flower Eater and Mad Bug were very jealous.
